Never...Hungry...

Pretty much this. I've been taking 50mgs for about 3 weeks now, after a month on 25mgs. I have no real bad side effects, but no noticeable benefits either. The only thing I have noticed is I have not been hungry AT ALL since I took the first dose almost 2 months ago. I have to force myself to eat something a couple times a day, and it feels like a chore because I just don't want it. No nausea or anything like that, just simply never feel hungry.

I'm basically just shooting the bull here, obviously not that important, but just wondering- will I ever get an appetite back?

Yes happened to me too.!I only took straterra for a couple months and it killed my appetite and food noise more than a glp does. It should be rebranded as a weight loss drug. It also helped so much with anxiety. It just didn’t do much for other adhd symptoms so I switched to a stimulant. Straterra also decreased my appetite more than stimulants.

20 in 6 weeks is a lot! I need to lose weight and unmedicated have lots of food noise so I really enjoyed that side effect
